Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of the houses in Harewood
Crescent. The houses were demolished before I started photographing
the area. This street now seems to be used mainly by learner
drivers, under instruction.

Perhaps somebody else will have a photograph of the houses that they
can send to me for the web site.

Wauchope Crescent

All the
houses in and around Wauchope Crescent, except for one house in the
crescent, are now empty. The residents have moved out. Demolition
began in late 2006 .

The cinema
went long ago. The empty launderette is still standing, at February
2007, but probably for not much longer.

The Launderette

The old
launderette at the corner of Wauchope Crescent and Wauchope Avenue was
finally demolished on March 8, 2008. The last of the houses in Wauchope Crescent
were demolished on March 10, 2008.

There are now only three of
the old blocks of housing still standing in Craigmillar, all unoccupied.

Johnni
Stanton has compiled an exhibition of old Craigmillar pictures, titled
'Craigmillar Then'.
The exhibition is currently (at July 2009) on
display at The John Maxwell Gallery, Artspace, Craigmillar.

The White House

"PARC,
the company behind the regeneration of Craigmillar have finally bought
The White House and are thinking about what to
do with it. It is to
be restored to its former glory.

The
main idea that local people (those of us still
living here) appear to prefer is:

- a
continental style Café/bar, and

- a heritage
museum and gallery of Craigmillar pics in the old dance hall on the
upper floor.
